These races have a major presence within The Eye and are intended to be balanced for play without level adjustments or difficult conditions for their inclusion. This is not to say playing some of them in certain campaigns will not result in complications, of course, depending on regional biases, but that they are balanced from a mechanical standpoint. Other races without a major political presence but that can serve as playable races, such as planetouched, half-orcs, and half-elves, will also feature here with briefer articles.
